On Sunday 12th May, we welcome local west London musical stalwarts Dave Jarvis and Pierce Smith to spin at Color One Tear Black.
Both have a long history collecting music across a range of styles. Dave ran the Beggars Banquet record shop in Kingston for years, is one of the founders of the Faith – the house music events and fanzine – and is behind the Pamela and Moton labels, the latter having issued productions and edits from a rollcall of DJs and producers including Greg Belson.
Pierce has deep musical knowledge and a record collection to match, and DJs with Soul Jazz and at select events including Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here festival (with partner Linda Boyle) and the Reference Point nights. It’ll be a treat to hear with they pull for COTB, and it’s bound to be a busy one as is also Dave’s birthday...
COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill and JM will also be spinning alongside Dave and Pierce on 12th May.
Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (nts radio), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, mellow steppers, sweet and deep soul music, all played on original issue 45s by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM and monthly guests.
COTB runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE.
